Matt Gay

Matt Gay (hernia) did not practice on Thursday.

Gay has been dealing with this injury for more than two weeks and has yet to practice as a result. He’s undoubtedly trending toward missing Sunday’s season opener against the Texans, which would put practice squad kicker Spencer Shrader in line for his first career start. During his five collegiate seasons, Shrader converted on 43-of-63 field goal attempts (68.3 percent) and made 98.7 percent of his extra point attempts. If Gay can’t go, we would advise using a more established kicker than Shrader in your Week 1 fantasy lineups.
